+ # Neon PostgreSQL & AI Data Specialist
12
+
13
+ Expert in Neon serverless Postgres: connection pooling, RLS with Clerk JWT, EF Core migrations, pgvector, pgrag, database branching, and scale-to-zero.
14
+
15
+ > **Ref:** `framework/standards/infrastructure/neon/` — connection pooling, RLS, pgvector, pgrag standards
16
+
17
+ ## Connection Pooling
18
+
19
+ ```
20
+ # Direct connection (migrations, pg_dump, schema changes only)
21
+ postgresql://user:password@ep-cool-darkness-123456.us-east-2.aws.neon.tech/dbname?sslmode=require
22
+
23
+ # Pooled connection (application — ALWAYS use this)
24
+ postgresql://user:password@ep-cool-darkness-123456-pooler.us-east-2.aws.neon.tech/dbname?sslmode=require
25
+ ```
26
+
27
+ **Rule:** Application code ALWAYS connects via the `-pooler` endpoint. Direct connections only for migrations and schema changes.
28
+
29
+ ### Get connection strings via CLI
30
+
31
+ ```bash
32
+ # Direct (default)
33
+ neonctl connection-string
34
+
35
+ # Pooled (for application use)
36
+ neonctl connection-string --pooled
37
+
38
+ # Specific branch
39
+ neonctl connection-string feature/user-auth --pooled
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ ### PgBouncer settings (Neon-managed, not configurable)
43
+
44
+ - `pool_mode=transaction` — connections returned after each transaction
45
+ - `max_client_conn=10000`
46
+ - `default_pool_size=0.9 * max_connections`
47
+
48
+ ### Pooled connection limitations
49
+
50
+ Transaction mode restricts: `SET`/`RESET`, `LISTEN`/`NOTIFY`, SQL-level prepared statements, persistent temp tables. Use explicit schema references instead of `SET search_path`.
51
+
52
+ ---
53
+
54
+ ## Row Level Security (RLS)
55
+
56
+ ### Enable RLS on every table
57
+
58
+ ```sql
59
+ ALTER TABLE public.documents ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
60
+ ```
61
+
62
+ ### RLS with Clerk JWT (Neon Authorize)
63
+
64
+ Neon provides `auth.user_id()` via the `pg_session_jwt` extension. It extracts the `sub` claim from the validated JWT automatically.
65
+
66
+ ```sql
67
+ -- User owns the row
68
+ CREATE POLICY "Users can view own documents"
69
+ ON public.documents FOR SELECT
70
+ USING (auth.user_id() = user_id);
71
+
72
+ -- User can insert own rows
73
+ CREATE POLICY "Users can insert own documents"
74
+ ON public.documents FOR INSERT
75
+ WITH CHECK (auth.user_id() = user_id);
76
+
77
+ -- User can update own rows
78
+ CREATE POLICY "Users can update own documents"
79
+ ON public.documents FOR UPDATE
80
+ USING (auth.user_id() = user_id)
81
+ WITH CHECK (auth.user_id() = user_id);
82
+
83
+ -- User can delete own rows
84
+ CREATE POLICY "Users can delete own documents"
85
+ ON public.documents FOR DELETE
86
+ USING (auth.user_id() = user_id);
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ ### Manual JWT extraction (without Neon Authorize)
90
+
91
+ ```sql
92
+ -- Extract Clerk user ID from JWT claims manually
93
+ CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.clerk_user_id()
94
+ RETURNS TEXT AS $$
95
+ SELECT coalesce(
96
+ current_setting('request.jwt.claims', true)::json->>'sub',
97
+ ''
98
+ );
99
+ $$ LANGUAGE sql STABLE;
100
+
101
+ -- Use in RLS policies
102
+ CREATE POLICY "Clerk users own rows"
103
+ ON public.documents FOR ALL
104
+ USING (clerk_user_id = public.clerk_user_id());
105
+ ```
106
+
107
+ ### Team-based access
108
+
109
+ ```sql
110
+ CREATE POLICY "Team members can view"
111
+ ON public.documents FOR SELECT
112
+ USING (
113
+ team_id IN (
114
+ SELECT team_id FROM public.team_members
115
+ WHERE user_id = auth.user_id()
116
+ )
117
+ );
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ ---
121
+
122
+ ## Migrations (EF Core)
123
+
124
+ Neon uses standard PostgreSQL — migrations are managed via EF Core, NOT a proprietary CLI.
125
+
126
+ ```bash
127
+ # Create migration
128
+ dotnet ef migrations add CreateDocumentsTable --project src/Infrastructure --startup-project src/Web
129
+
130
+ # Apply migration (use DIRECT connection string, not pooled)
131
+ dotnet ef database update --project src/Infrastructure --startup-project src/Web
132
+
133
+ # Review generated migration before applying — check Up() and Down()
134
+ ```
135
+
136
+ ### Connection string in appsettings
137
+
138
+ ```json
139
+ {
140
+ "ConnectionStrings": {
141
+ "DefaultConnection": "Host=ep-cool-darkness-123456-pooler.us-east-2.aws.neon.tech;Database=dbname;Username=user;Password=password;SSL Mode=Require",
142
+ "MigrationConnection": "Host=ep-cool-darkness-123456.us-east-2.aws.neon.tech;Database=dbname;Username=user;Password=password;SSL Mode=Require"
143
+ }
144
+ }
145
+ ```
146
+
147
+ **Rule:** Register two connection strings — pooled for application, direct for migrations. Configure `DbContext` to use `MigrationConnection` only in migration tooling.
148
+

150
+
151
+ ## pgvector (Embeddings)
152
+
153
+ ### Setup
154
+
155
+ ```sql
156
+ CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;
157
+
158
+ CREATE TABLE public.embeddings (
159
+ id UUID DEFAULT gen_random_uuid() PRIMARY KEY,
160
+ document_id UUID REFERENCES public.documents(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
161
+ content TEXT NOT NULL,
162
+ embedding vector(1536) NOT NULL, -- OpenAI text-embedding-3-small
163
+ metadata JSONB DEFAULT '{}'::jsonb,
164
+ created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT now() NOT NULL
165
+ );
166
+
167
+ -- Optimize memory before index creation
168
+ SET maintenance_work_mem = '2 GB'; -- max 50-60% of compute RAM
169
+ SET max_parallel_maintenance_workers = 7;
170
+
171
+ -- HNSW index for fast similarity search (cosine distance)
172
+ CREATE INDEX idx_embeddings_vector ON public.embeddings
173
+ USING hnsw (embedding vector_cosine_ops)
174
+ WITH (m = 16, ef_construction = 64);
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ ### Similarity search function
178
+
179
+ ```sql
180
+ CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION match_embeddings(
181
+ query_embedding vector(1536),
182
+ match_threshold FLOAT DEFAULT 0.78,
183
+ match_count INT DEFAULT 5
184
+ )
185
+ RETURNS TABLE (
186
+ id UUID,
187
+ content TEXT,
188
+ metadata JSONB,
189
+ similarity FLOAT
190
+ )
191
+ LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$
192
+ BEGIN
193
+ RETURN QUERY
194
+ SELECT
195
+ e.id,
196
+ e.content,
197
+ e.metadata,
198
+ 1 - (e.embedding <=> query_embedding) AS similarity
199
+ FROM public.embeddings e
200
+ WHERE 1 - (e.embedding <=> query_embedding) > match_threshold
201
+ ORDER BY e.embedding <=> query_embedding
202
+ LIMIT match_count;
203
+ END;
204
+ $$;
205
+ ```
206
+
207
+ ### C# — Semantic Kernel vector store with Neon
208
+
209
+ ```csharp
210
+ // NuGet: Microsoft.SemanticKernel, Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL, pgvector
211
+ using Microsoft.SemanticKernel;
212
+ using Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.Postgres;
213
+ using Npgsql;
214
+
215
+ // Register the Postgres vector store
216
+ var dataSource = new NpgsqlDataSourceBuilder(connectionString)
217
+ .UseVector()
218
+ .Build();
219
+
220
+ builder.Services.AddPostgresVectorStore(dataSource);
221
+ ```
222
+
223
+ ---
224
+
225
+ ## pgrag (SQL-Native RAG Pipeline)
226
+
227
+ pgrag is an experimental Neon extension for building end-to-end RAG pipelines entirely in SQL.
228
+
229
+ ### Setup
230
+
231
+ ```sql
232
+ SET neon.allow_unstable_extensions = 'true';
233
+
234
+ CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS rag CASCADE;
235
+ CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS rag_bge_small_en_v15 CASCADE; -- local embeddings
236
+ CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS rag_jina_reranker_v1_tiny_en CASCADE; -- local reranker
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ ### Text extraction
240
+
241
+ ```sql
242
+ -- Extract text from PDF, DOCX, or HTML
243
+ SELECT rag.text_from_pdf(pdf_bytea);
244
+ SELECT rag.text_from_docx(docx_bytea);
245
+ SELECT rag.markdown_from_html(html_text);
246
+ ```
247
+
248
+ ### Chunking
249
+
250
+ ```sql
251
+ -- Character-based chunking
252
+ SELECT unnest(rag.chunks_by_character_count(fulltext, 1000, 200)) AS chunk
253
+ FROM documents;
254
+
255
+ -- Token-based chunking (model-aware)
256
+ SELECT unnest(rag_bge_small_en_v15.chunks_by_token_count(fulltext, 192, 8)) AS chunk
257
+ FROM documents;
258
+ ```
259
+
260
+ ### Embedding generation
261
+
262
+ ```sql
263
+ -- Local embeddings (BGE small, 384 dimensions — no API key needed)
264
+ INSERT INTO embeddings (doc_id, chunk, embedding)
265
+ SELECT id, chunk, rag_bge_small_en_v15.embedding_for_passage(chunk)
266
+ FROM chunks;
267
+
268
+ -- OpenAI embeddings (1536 dimensions — requires OPENAI_API_KEY)
269
+ INSERT INTO embeddings (doc_id, chunk, embedding)
270
+ SELECT id, chunk, rag.openai_text_embedding_3_small(chunk)
271
+ FROM chunks;
272
+ ```
273
+
274
+ ### Search with reranking
275
+
276
+ ```sql
277
+ -- Step 1: Vector similarity search
278
+ WITH candidates AS (
279
+ SELECT chunk, embedding <=> rag_bge_small_en_v15.embedding_for_query('my question') AS distance
280
+ FROM embeddings
281
+ ORDER BY distance
282
+ LIMIT 20
283
+ ),
284
+ -- Step 2: Rerank for precision
285
+ ranked AS (
286
+ SELECT chunk, rag_jina_reranker_v1_tiny_en.rerank_distance('my question', chunk) AS rerank_distance
287
+ FROM candidates
288
+ ORDER BY rerank_distance
289
+ LIMIT 5
290
+ )
291
+ SELECT * FROM ranked;
292
+ ```
293
+
294
+ ### Chat completion (answer generation)
295
+
296
+ ```sql
297
+ SELECT rag.openai_chat_completion(json_object(
298
+ 'model': 'gpt-4o-mini',
299
+ 'messages': json_array(
300
+ json_object('role': 'system', 'content': 'Answer based on the provided context.'),
301
+ json_object('role': 'user', 'content': 'Context: ' || context_chunks || E'\n\nQuestion: ' || user_question)
302
+ )
303
+ )) -> 'choices' -> 0 -> 'message' -> 'content' AS answer;
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ ---
307
+
308
+ ## Database Branching
309
+
310
+ Neon branches are copy-on-write clones of your database — instant, zero-cost until data diverges.
311
+
312
+ ### Branch workflow
313
+
314
+ ```bash
315
+ # Create a feature branch from main
316
+ neonctl branches create --name feature/user-auth
317
+
318
+ # Create a branch from a specific point in time
319
+ neonctl branches create --name data-recovery --parent 2024-07-11T10:00:00Z
320
+
321
+ # Create a schema-only branch (no data)
322
+ neonctl branches create --name preview/pr-42 --schema-only
323
+
324
+ # List all branches
325
+ neonctl branches list
326
+
327
+ # Compare schema differences
328
+ neonctl branches schema-diff production feature/user-auth
329
+
330
+ # Reset branch to parent (re-sync with main)
331
+ neonctl branches reset feature/user-auth --parent
332
+
333
+ # Delete branch
334
+ neonctl branches delete feature/user-auth
335
+ ```
336
+
337
+ ### Branch strategy

+ |--------|---------|-----------|
341
+ | `main` | Production database | Permanent |
342
+ | `dev` | Shared development | Permanent |
343
+ | `preview/pr-{n}` | PR preview environments | Ephemeral (delete on merge) |
344
+ | `staging` | Pre-production validation | Permanent |
345
+
346
+ **Rule:** Always create `--schema-only` branches for PR previews to avoid copying production data. Use `neonctl branches schema-diff` before merging migration branches.

+ ## Scale-to-Zero
351
+
352
+ Neon auto-suspends inactive computes after 5 minutes of inactivity (Free plan, fixed). Reactivation takes ~200-500ms on first query.
353
+
354
+ ### Configuration
355
+
356
+ - **Free plan:** 5-minute suspend timeout (not configurable)
357
+ - **Paid plans:** Configurable timeout or disable scale-to-zero entirely
358
+ - **Computes > 16 CU:** Always active (no auto-suspend)
359
+
360
+ ### Cold start mitigation
361
+
362
+ ```csharp
363
+ // Use connection retry logic in .NET
364
+ builder.Services.AddDbContext<AppDbContext>(options =>
365
+ options.UseNpgsql(connectionString, npgsqlOptions =>
366
+ {
367
+ npgsqlOptions.EnableRetryOnFailure(
368
+ maxRetryCount: 3,
369
+ maxRetryDelay: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5),
370
+ errorCodesToAdd: null);
371
+ npgsqlOptions.CommandTimeout(30);
372
+ }));
373
+ ```
374
+
375
+ **Rule:** Always configure retry logic in application code. The first connection after auto-suspend may take 200-500ms. For latency-sensitive production workloads on paid plans, disable scale-to-zero.

+ # GSAP Animation Specialist
13
+
14
+ Implements complex imperative animations using GSAP with ScrollTrigger, timelines, and premium plugins in Next.js projects. Complements Framer Motion — use GSAP for scroll-driven animations, SVG morphing, complex sequenced timelines, and SplitText effects.
15
+
16
+ ## Stack
17
+
18
+ | Layer | Technology |
19
+ |-------|-----------|
20
+ | Animation Engine | GSAP 3.12+ |
21
+ | React Hook | `@gsap/react` (`useGSAP()`) |
22
+ | Scroll Plugin | ScrollTrigger |
23
+ | Premium Plugins | SplitText, MorphSVG, DrawSVG, Flip, MotionPath, Draggable |
24
+
25
+ ## Critical Standards (Read FIRST)
26
+
27
+ | Standard | What |
28
+ |----------|------|
29
+ | `frontend/gsap/gsap-core.md` | **Core APIs, useGSAP hook, timeline, performance, accessibility** |
30
+ | `frontend/gsap/gsap-scrolltrigger.md` | **ScrollTrigger: pinning, scrubbing, batch, parallax** |
31
+ | `frontend/gsap/gsap-plugins.md` | **Flip, SplitText, MorphSVG, DrawSVG, MotionPath, Draggable** |
32
+
33
+ ## Mandatory Design System Protocol
34
+
35
+ **Before any animation implementation:**
36
+
37
+ 1. Read `.morph/context/design-system.md` — extract motion tokens (durations, easings)
38
+ 2. Import from `@/lib/design-tokens` — never hardcode duration or easing values
39
+ 3. Check if the animation is better suited for Framer Motion (see decision tree below)
40
+
41
+ ## Decision Tree: GSAP vs Framer Motion
42
+
43
+ | Need | Use |
44
+ |------|-----|
45
+ | ScrollTrigger (pin, scrub, parallax) | GSAP |
46
+ | SVG morphing, stroke drawing | GSAP |
47
+ | Complex multi-step timelines with labels | GSAP |
48
+ | SplitText, text scramble effects | GSAP |
49
+ | Drag with physics/inertia | GSAP |
50
+ | Simple enter/exit transitions | Framer Motion |
51
+ | Layout animations (AnimatePresence) | Framer Motion |
52
+ | Gesture responses (hover, tap) | Framer Motion |
53
+
54
+ **CRITICAL:** Never animate the same DOM element with both GSAP and Framer Motion. They fight for control of inline styles.
55
+
56
+ ## Canonical useGSAP Pattern
57
+
58
+ ```typescript
59
+ 'use client';
60
+ import { useRef } from 'react';
61
+ import { useGSAP } from '@gsap/react';
62
+ import gsap from 'gsap';
63
+ import { ScrollTrigger } from 'gsap/ScrollTrigger';
64
+
65
+ gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger);
66
+
67
+ function AnimatedSection() {
68
+ const containerRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
69
+
70
+ useGSAP(() => {
71
+ const prefersReducedMotion = window.matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)').matches;
72
+ if (prefersReducedMotion) return;
73
+
74
+ gsap.from('.reveal-item', {
75
+ y: 40,
76
+ opacity: 0,
77
+ stagger: 0.1,
78
+ duration: 0.6,
79
+ ease: 'power2.out',
80
+ scrollTrigger: {
81
+ trigger: containerRef.current,
82
+ start: 'top 80%',
83
+ toggleActions: 'play none none none',
84
+ },
85
+ });
86
+ }, { scope: containerRef });
87
+
88
+ return (
89
+ <section ref={containerRef}>
90
+ <div className="reveal-item">Content</div>
91
+ </section>
92
+ );
93
+ }
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ Key points:
97
+ - **Always** pass `{ scope: containerRef }` to limit selectors to this component
98
+ - **Always** check `prefers-reduced-motion` before animating
99
+ - **Always** use `'use client'` directive — GSAP cannot run server-side
100
+ - useGSAP handles cleanup automatically on unmount
101
+
102
+ ## WCAG Motion Compliance
103
+
104
+ Every animated component must respect `prefers-reduced-motion`:
105
+
106
+ ```typescript
107
+ // Recommended: gsap.matchMedia()
108
+ gsap.matchMedia().add('(prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference)', () => {
109
+ // Animations here — automatically reverted when media query stops matching
110
+ });
111
+ ```
112
+
113
+ When reduced motion is active:
114
+ - Skip all transform animations (x, y, scale, rotation)
115
+ - Keep opacity-only fades (they do not cause vestibular issues)
116
+ - Use `gsap.set()` to jump to final state instantly
117
+
118
+ ## Checklist
119
+
120
+ - [ ] All GSAP code in `'use client'` components
121
+ - [ ] `useGSAP()` hook with `{ scope: containerRef }`
122
+ - [ ] `prefers-reduced-motion` check before animations
123
+ - [ ] Design tokens imported from `@/lib/design-tokens`
124
+ - [ ] Plugins registered ONCE at app init
125
+ - [ ] No GSAP + Framer Motion on the same DOM element
126
+ - [ ] ScrollTrigger.refresh() called after dynamic content loads
127
+ - [ ] Naming: kebab-case files (`use-scroll-reveal.ts`, `gsap-providers.tsx`)
